Year: 2009

Yes, this week has been busy, so busy it is difficult to recall just how busy but … busy will do.

Today little Josh had his jabs and very painful they looked too. Daisy came along with me, she wasn’t meant to but probably for the best that at least one parent was there. His legs have swollen up bad and he has been a bit warm, not a happy bunny at all bless him.

 

Last week James got to spend some time with him which was nice and we finally have some recent pictures of dad and son …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last week we also got JJ to see the paediatrician in Northampton General. They have done more tests but the diagnosis seems correct and Josh is now on an iron supplement he has to have daily to counter anaemia.

  At Duston School earlier on today was a valiant effort. I am looking for praise and the example it most deserves is that each of the cast members have given it their very best effort, there is no way, with the majority and, certainly the leads, they could have done more than they did.

I have to confess that, as a major Queen fan, I did cringe big time. Never have I heard anyone totally screw up Queen so effectively. One lad, and bless him, it wasn’t his fault, managed to hit just about every note that wasn’t on the music sheet. It was so bad I was in full crying hysterics, quite uncontrollable which also set off Daisy. The pair of us felt really bad about it but it was one of those times when the more we tried not to laugh the harder it became.

Back to being tired .. yes, just 3 hours broken sleep in 48 hours is NOT enough … and, on that note … night night everyone

It is not quite the same, I correct one paragraph placement mistake which made it look kind of screwy.

and … on to today.

Strictly speaking, that’d be yesterday or, whenever it happens to be when you read this.

Tried to book up the ‘experience’ things we got for our wedding … oh dear 🙁

Our ‘Red Letter Day’ could have been amazing had I only not been so damn busy. Had I arranged it last month we could have gone see ‘Avenue Q’ but, as it happens, the entire offer has ended now to be replaced with a similar offer but without Avenue Q and in a different hotel one which says on their site ‘Building work continues on the lower levels and some noise may disrupt clients’. Oh joy, so I go see a show we don’t really want to see in a hotel that is going to keep me awake … not overly impressed. They have said I can transfer it to a deal of similar value or wait until they have their new selection of shows in January. I don’t know whether to do that or just book a relaxing overnight stay in a hotel with dinner included … seems a bit of a come down after a London show thrown in but then, that only included continental breakfast. The other downside of the London option is that we are already knackered by the time we get there and then we have to walk to the theatre and find somewhere that doesn’t require a loan to have dinner. Oh, I really don’t know.

The other one, as provided by Citroen, we have decided to go for the meal deal at the Marriot in Northampton. It’s a 3 course meal, nothing too fancy and local, that sort of appeals. Our other option was a hair cut and makeover followed by a photo shoot but that would have meant Birmingham and more expense.

Daisy has been getting too many headaches. It is probably the medication but, along with other symptoms, it seems more like exhaustion. Will she take a break? Not likely.

Lovely to see Laura here earlier, great to speak to someone intelligent on subjects I am interested in as well as Daisy.

Not a lot else happening …. had a bad experience on Ebay but only a few quid and I got most of it back … also got the money back for the game I ordered which went to the wrong address.
